District Apostle Helper

A District Apostle Helper is not understood to be a spiritual ministry. An apostle is commissioned to stand by and help his district apostle. As a rule, the helper is also the District Apostle's deputy in the area assigned to him and is responsible for maintaining the unity of the apostles entrusted to him. On behalf of his District Apostle, he takes on actions and administrative tasks. A District Apostle Helper is often seen as the designated successor of a District Apostle.
